Gapless Play Issue

There are times when Roon will not know that an album is gapless.

There are times when Roon will not know that an album is gapless.

Hi,
I’m wondering why not, do you have any specific examples that you could share?

[pwright92 (Peter Wright)]

Sure, the last time I played:

And the newest Buddha Bar when I first got it:

Hi Peter, thanks for sharing these.

I don’t have those albums in my collection however, “Buddha Bar XXI: Paris, the Origins” is available on Tidal and Qobuz.

I’ve added it my Roon library and given it a spin and with the exception of tracks 01-02 and 02-10 which are unavailable (from both sources) the transitions between tracks are seamless.

If you’re not not getting same, then I’m wondering if there’s maybe something amiss with the files you are playing … maybe how they were ripped?

I’m going to tag @support just in case they can share some wisdom, they may want to look at the files you are playing.

PS I like the album, after checking for gapless play, I’ve requeued it and letting it play though in its entirety.

I ripped the Naked Rhythm CD using iTunes, the Buddha Bar was ripped by a friend, not sure how.

Hello @pwright92,

When you play these albums using other applications, are they being outputted as gapless? It is possible that the albums themselves are not gapless, so I would like to verify this before requesting the media from you. Also, do you have crossfade active for your zone?

Thanks,
Noris

Looks like it was a bad rip. The older album plays properly now. It’s been a while since I played so probably fixed in an upgrade along the way.

Hi @pwright92,

Thanks for letting me know that and glad to hear you you were able to diagnose the issue as the media itself.
